debts transferred or sold

[marzipan13]

What happens to bad debts on credit report that are sold or transferred? I have a couple that show a $0 balance, but were sold or transferred to another company to collect the debt.
Is there anyway to get rid of those?
Does bankruptcy cover those negative items?

If the original debtor was listed in your bankruptcy, then they are discharged. Send them (collection agency) a certified letter and a copy of your discharge papers letting them know that this debt was discharged in bankruptcy and not to contact you any more about it.....

If they're smart - they won't....
